Dear Madam, I would like to mention some of the recommendation for initiatives for the Government of Nepal:  The government should adopt a new constitution which ensures Dalit women’s proportional representation in every political body (ie political parties and associated political organs).  The government should ensure meaningful representation of Dalit women in public policies, plans, project formation and monitoring and evaluation.  The government should adopt constitutional provisions for the proportional representation of Dalit women in all areas of economic , political, administrative, educational, social and cultural life. These provisions should have a strong oversight mechanism for monitoring their implementation.  The government should pay particular attention to combating violence against Dalit women and girls and to adopt comprehensive measures to address such violence, including undertaking wider awareness raising program sin Dalit communities, specifically targeting men and boys.  With this I stop my presentation.
